David Bowie’s final decade to be celebrated in documentary
Written by WorldOneFm on October 30, 2025
It’s been nearly 10 years since the late David Bowie released his final album, and his last years are set to be commemorated on film.
Deadline reports that a documentary, with the working title David Bowie: The Final Act, will chart the final creative chapter of one of music’s most iconic artists.
Featuring rare interviews with those who knew and worked alongside Bowie as well as famous fans and figures who have been inspired by his artistry, the film will uncover Bowie’s artistic resurrection during his final decade, in which he released his critically acclaimed album Blackstar just two days before he died.
The 90-minute feature is a co-production between Channel 4, Dogwoof and Rogan Productions, which also made Freddie Mercury: The Final Act and ABBA: Against the Odds.
Director Jonathan Stiasny shared, “The traditional music documentary celebrates triumph. What fascinated me most when making this film was how Bowie’s final chapter wasn’t an ending, it was a resurrection. He transformed failure into triumph, silence into revelation, and ultimately, death into art.”
Bowie is widely recognised as one of the greatest musicians of all time, selling more than 100 million records worldwide and winning countless awards.
The Space Oddity singer passed away in January 2016, aged 69, after a battle with liver cancer.
